Amphibian Room Update -- Tour of all my paludariums and vivariums 

You make serpadesign level quality builds. Keep hanging on to youtube man, you deserve 100k subs!

Glad you're back uploading!

Have more confidence. Total thumbs up on your video that I'm seeing for the first time!

I’ve been doing this since I was a kid, and I’m 36 now; but your collection is always such an inspiration to me, it gets me off my ass! On a good day, Haha, thanks.

Love these setups

These are some incredible enclosures. Very inspiring thank you.

Wow, the green frogs have really grown since the last video on them

So cool!

Awesome video !

Nice setups!

I'm happy to see the cave salamanders doing so well now!

Your enclosures are incredible and your salamanders are adorable! I'm doing my master's thesis on salamander population ecology across a historic salamander property. Just heard your episode of Amphibicast to find your channel!!

I am from Australia and you have some of my favourite salamander species, the northern red salamander, long-tailed (cave) salamander and tiger salamander (barred and blotched/western). The only salamander legal in my country is the axolotl, as you know they are a species that rarely metamorphose. You put a lot of effort into your setups. It is interesting how the red and long-tailed have almost identical skin patterns. The blotched/western tiger salamander at 18:25 is begging for a meal. And yes, that is one slimy salamander at 29:42, do not pick it up as it's slime will harden on your skin.

Oh yeah, about the algae in the siren’s tank (perhaps you know this stuff already) - but some people say that if there’s algae, then there aren’t nearly enough plants in the tank! Lol, That’s debatable…bc like you said, water changes are key, so it goes both ways. And you definitely have FAR more plants than the average hobbyist. I always did fifty percent water changes weekly. But I also wanted the dirty fish water on my plants outside. So you could try floating or hanging cuttings of pothos (Epipremnum sp.), heartleaf philodendrons (P. hederaceum, ‘micans’, ‘Neon’, ‘Brazil’ etc.) and ‘wandering Jew’ (Tradescantia, Callisia repens, etc.) on the side, hanging out of the tank or laying on top of the glass, roots submerged. Also spider plants (Chlorophytum), smaller varieties of Monstera and peace lilies (Spathiphyllum) do great with their roots submerged and they can be trimmed anytime, no harm. More just grow! there are surface plants, they’re great at battling algae over time. I mean, like other than duckweed…ha, I say “other than duckweed” (I’m not against it, although it can get crazy), but that giant duckweed is kinda cool. And easier to control. There’s salvinia, Amazon frogbit, dwarf water lettuce, red root floater. I prefer frogbit & salvinia. You can make or buy one of those hoops o from plastic tubing, to corral it in place and prevent light blockage. Those roots suck up excess nutrients faster with the leaves exposed to the fresh air.

Listened to this while biking to work, weird but cool vibe for a bike ride but fun watch after. Glad to see you finally get those long Tailed in. I know you've been looking for those for a long time.

On the tank with the drip wall… if you don’t wanna tear the whole thing apart, you could probably just grow aquarium plants. Things like Anubias, Java fern, and aquatic mosses will all grow above the waters surface in environment like that as long as it stays moist (which doesn’t seem to be a problem in that tank haha). Java moss, riccia, marsh mermaid, and most aquarium stem plants will all do great. Take a look at some “wabi kusa” videos… any of the plants used in wabi kusa will grow partially submerged.

gorgeou s~

Ur channel is epic man,hope it gets more recognition someday. Great content👍

Nice collection do you have anny tips on doing an simple water with land setup for marblednewts?

First of all amazing enclosures! second, where do you source your eastern newts? I have one but when i get my bigger tank I'd like to get some more.

I adore your setups, wow. Where do you get all your species?

I was so excited to find this video in my recommendeds! It's really rare to see someone keep so many salamandar species they're definitely my favorite amphibians. The enclosures are amazing. Do you do any breeding?

Salamanders are the best

Really beautiful, I’d love to do something like that.

I saw cups of something in some tanks. What's all that?

Those underwater food bowls look great - not seen anyone ask this question so thought I’d ask, do the blackworm or tubifex propagate naturally in them as they all seem to be brimming over with them? Any tips? Many thanks, and lovely setups!

Thought this was lakers Nation podcast 😂

Room looks Amazing! Do you know of a tiger salamander breeder who ships ,, thank you

Lovely video ! How do you adapt the lids of these aquariums? Thanks ! 🇬🇧

Looks great. I am interested in upgrading my mavortium (barred) setup myself, and I must say I very confused in your design for your barred tiger setup. Out of all salamanders native to the US, barred tigers occupy some of the driest regions of the country, through the great plains and into the southwest, mostly spending their time in deep burrows and really only going to true bodies of water for a few weeks to breed in the spring. I don't deny that your barred are certainly healthy, just wondering why you went with such an aquatic setup with minimal deep burrowing substrate, given they burrow more than they are in water naturally? Again, it all looks great and they look healthy as can be; and as you said, if it spends its time in water by choice, why deprive it. I am just curious?

How do you get the liverwort to grow so well!?

What do you use as your substrate mix for the tiger salamanders??

what is your substrate in the blotched tiger vivarium?

I have my blotched tiger in a 20 gallon long. Do you recommend upping the size once he’s full-grown?

Do you think the tiger salamanders always need a water area or simply a preference?

Would eastern newts be a good starter species?

Awesome but the music is 🤢
